In part...

Well, I never moved my books downstairs for scripture study purposes so I didn't study like I wanted to, but I did listen to my scriptures ever day this week. That's better than what I have been doing so I'll take it as a win.

I also never studied the curriculum for this week. One day I sat with the family and opened the book. I decided to just take one excerpt and study that. It was a lot of scripture verses and because I hadn't read the whole thing yet, I had no idea what it was really talking about. Neither did my husband. The boys sat and sighed really loud the whole time, and it really ended up being a disaster. I never got back to doing anything after that. I should have at least read a scripture verse every day to them. I have one of those verse a day calendars. But, I didn't.

I did pray on my knees at 5 times this week, that was really helpful and I went to the temple last night. I went with a purpose in mind. I'm not sure why I expected to get answers while I was there. That has actually never happened to me before. I usually get answers afterward. I felt disappointed though. I'm glad I went, and the Lord showed me a tender mercy though.

This week my goals are:

• Move my books downstairs so I can study
• I will really study at least once this week, the rest of the week, I will just read where I am or listen to them
• I will continue to pray on my knees every day
• Study the curriculum this week
• Read at least one verse with the boys every day

Here's to a new month!
